This document discusses lean manufacturing principles and how to increase value-adding activities and efficiency at a factory. It notes that the factory's current value-adding percentage is less than 0.1%, compared to Toyota's over 10%, and that the goal is to increase cutting and making (CM) efficiency. Specific actions proposed include finalizing and implementing lean processes, establishing an ethics code, conducting process audits, and holding motivational events to increase team synergy. It is estimated it will take 3 months to start seeing positive impacts if the project is continued without neglect. The key message is that results will be clear through increased CM efficiency, productivity and reduced waste.
